he free PhotoRec file recovery tool does the job but it isn't nearly as easy
to use as other programs on my list.

PhotoRec Free Download |
PhotoRec is limited by its command-line interface and multiple step recovery
process. However, my greatest problem with PhotoRec is that it's very difficult
to avoid recovering all deleted files at once, not just the one or two you're
after.
PhotoRec can recover files from hard drives, optical drives, and memory
cards. PhotoRec should be able to undelete files from any storage device on your
PC.
PhotoRec supports Windows 7, Vista, XP, Server 2003, 2000, NT, ME, 98, and
95. I tested PhotoRec in Windows Vista.
If another file recovery program hasn't worked, give PhotoRec a try. I just
don't recommend making it your first pick.
"Why have you only included 17 free data recovery programs?"
True, there are many more file recovery programs than those listed above, but
I've only included true freeware file recovery programs that also undelete wide
ranges of files.
I didn't include file recovery programs that are shareware/free trials, nor
ones that won't undelete reasonably sized files.
If you still need help with a file recovery issue, see my Get More Help page.
I'm also happy to hear your thoughts on additions or changes to this
list.
